| Darcy struggles with issues that most teenagers deal with on a day-to-day basis. What makes her unique, however, is that she experiences the events in her life as short movies -- or "daydreams," as her teacher calls them. Often these movies grow out of her desire to fit in and be accepted. But during a class trip to a museum -- complete with a romance, an evil nemesis, and a nerd fashion show -- Darcy is able to find her way with the help of both her intelligence and her unwillingness to change who she is just to fit in. | |||||
